Dirk supports self-employed professionals to rapidly grow their wealth, have
more time to smell the roses and play with their kids, without compromising
their successful future.
Dirk values authenticity, transparency, flexibility, and options. The world
changes to fast for us to know exactly what the future holds and our plans

Dirk is a thinking partner with his clients, you could consider him the
architect for your financial future, helping you to understand your
relationship to money, map out where you are, where you want to be and
how we can close the gap. During this process, it’s important to plan for
unforeseen events, consider how to navigate the proverbial smorgasbord of
available providers, platforms, bells, whistles, and cherry on tops that can
either help, or unknowingly hinder you in achieving your objectives.
“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because
someone planted a tree a long time ago.” – Warren Buffett
Dirk really loves the above Warren Buffet quote and in his words, this is why.
“It speaks to the concept of delayed gratification. Imagine if no one planted
any trees because the shade or fruit will take decades to grow? Some things
require sacrifice, I never used to like that word, “Sacrifice”! It brought up
images of pain and suffering. Then a friend told me that if you looked at the
origin of the word, it can also mean “Investment”, putting something in now
and only getting the benefit later. I’m sure you’d agree that sounds a lot
better. Instead of the idea that you’re giving something up, we are rather
putting something away that will bear fruit later. Like planting a tree!”
Dirk believes that if we consider our lives in that context, our health,
finances, relationships or what we teach our children….. nothing happens
without us first putting something in……. and we get to an outcome either
way.
